Gundogan. Gundogan. Gundogan. When Dihno needs a breather, it will be Ilkay. And in some ways we'd be better, and in other ways weaker.


Besides, even if Fred came, he couldn't play CL for us. So it really will have a limited effect.

Gundogan?

So basically you are agreeing with everyone that we need Fred now

Get him in now gives fern the rest and saves him for the champs league and the big games no brainer

Are Shaktar and Fred not getting a say ?

Lol very true. It makes perfect sense to do a deal now and sign him but let him arrive in the summer.

[Kompany is King]

Looks like he will come in summer.
Shakhtar not wanting to sell in January and why should they.

Rather looks like we’ll buy him now and loan him out until the summer.

The number of defensive headers Fernandinho made yesterday particularly from their keeper, I think we will have to work on getting at least one more player with height though if Mendy regains fitness it may help. Fred is about eighteen inches tall from memory.

 

[Ban-jani]

I’ll be gutted when Fernandinho goes.

He’s been utterly exceptional for us and is the best DM in the league comfortably.

For anybody that has not seen enough of this guy, watch Shakhtar v Napoli - I think Fred was running that game and is the main reason they beat Napoli. Though Jorginho wasn't on the pitch that night and you wonder if Fred's passing to his attackers from deep would have been as effective or if Jorginho would have cut them out.

To me, Fred can do everything Kante can with the additional benefit of superior passing and play-making ability from deep, Kante is a pure destroyer.

Cons: he plays in a 2-man pivot ??
